TNA President Dixie Carter recently spoke with The Ministry of Slam. Here is one special highlight from the interview:

Signing MMA Fighters such as Quinton Rampage Jackson and Tito Ortiz: "I've gotten criticism for bringing these guys in but when you're looking for talent and there's only two teams, where do you go to get your star players from? You're going to mostly look to each other and then every once in a while, you've got to build your own talent which takes a lot of time.

"So here are two guys that are major superstars. Both come from wrestling backgrounds, and both are training their butts off right now to be in the ring. I think it's a great way of trying to find some superstar talent and not having to take so many years to try to grow somebody's stardom. Both of these guys are so well-known and they love professional wrestling. They're committed and they're training, and I'm excited for people to see their potential. I think it's a great way of looking for new talent, and talent that have never been seen before in our world."[/quote]

Get rid of Hogan and bring back Jarrett. Bring back the six sided ring and get TNA back to what it was best at. I really liked it when they had more focused on the tag titles. Also I'd wish they'd hype the TV belt as their step under the World Title. TNA has talent, but the constant misuse of guys like Storm kinda pisses me off. They had a great thing with Roode vs Storm. Also Aeries as champ was great as well, worry less about outside stars. Build with the talent they have and bring in more into the X division,build up the Tag Team Division and build up the TV title. Though I'm really curious how much this with in the last few years has to due with Dixie. As soon as Hogan signed on things started to slide but were ok for a point. Get rid of Hogan bring back Jarrett and Jim Cornette.

A WWE Left over is more intresting than a 40 year old UFC fighter to be honest.

They should bring back the Nasty Boys.

I don't care where they get their talent from, WWE, the indys, or even MMA, just start utilizing them.
